Anyone fancy doing this. The more the better and you'll be in good company with these groovy fuckers who have already been kind enough to send in theirs.

Every time I see Thatcher these days I think how much worse Labour are for queer people and that, and that alone, should end them.

Yes, this action could be the first to directly test the Supreme Court’s decision. In other cases, we argue it doesn’t give rise to a mandatory exclusion rule. However, her case concerns inclusion. And it is clear the statutory language is incompatible with Convention rights and civil liberties.

I’m somewhat bemused to hear a Jewish man telling the BBC (during an interview about Wireless Festival being headlined by a nazi) that if “an artist made appalling statements about… LGBTQ people” they wouldn’t be defended or given a platform.
It’s a nice dream.

I would like to wish a happy International Asexuality Day to all those who don’t partake.

(Can I say that?)

I was delighted when I learned that schools have LGBTQ groups now. Imagine the difference that might have made to me when I was younger.
And I’m horrified that Labour wants to go backwards.

Section 28 did immense harm to a generation of LGBTQ+ people. It allowed homophobia to flourish and left us to grow up with shame, scared and alone. It’s a big part of the reason why I didn’t transition until I was 38.

Yesterday was unusually Friday as Thursdays go, and today has been upsettingly Saturday. I don’t have the best grasp of what day it is most of the time anyway, and this isn’t helping.

"At this moment we do nothing, and by doing nothing we do everything..."

Words I could see myself borrowing for a #GoodFriday sermon at some point!

If Stephen Marche can’t be bothered to write “his” novel, I can’t be bothered to read his article about it.
I mean, did he actually write that? Has he even read it?

Every time I see someone suggest people should just "coexist" & "Have their opinions" I want to punch them because

WE DID THAT

Queer people did leave conservatives alone, we did try to live by the mantra of live & let live.

It gave us genocide because facists do not want to coexist but eradicate

A simply request while it still Trans Day of Visibility: don't watch this show. Easy peasy, right? 😉

And I say, once again, 'Fuck Labour' which promised to fix this and has done exactly the opposite.

I love this. I wish all cis women saw it this way. We love womanhood so much we gave up almost everything for it

Since it’s Bring A Shark To Work Day (did I get that right?) here’s me being visible. Except that everyone’s facing in the other direction because my desk’s at the back. But they could see me if they turned around!
Just after I took this photo, everything broke (unrelated) and I was busy for a while

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you.

If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can.

Everyone give this a share after.

The colour of the UK on this map should be a national embarrassment, and the politicians that enabled this should be held accountable.

Trans rights are far from a guarantee here, and we need to stop politicians chipping away at our rights.

So if Labour think that your condition might improve some day, they will cut your benefits. Presumably the aim is to prevent that possible recovery?
I really can’t think of any other rationale for this policy.

The latter being that they claim they have to use their “biological X who identifies as Y” abomination because of the Hodge Ruling, and refuse to engage with my counter argument that that is, in fact, utter nonsense.

It’s interesting that the BBC Complaints Unit will both mis-state your complaint and completely ignore parts of it that they can’t think of even a bad defence for.
